Krista Kiuru

Krista Katriina Kiuru (born 5 August 1974) is a Finnish politician. She served as Minister of Housing and Communications and Minister of Education and Communications in Jyrki Katainen's and Alexander Stubb's cabinets. From 2019 to 2023, she served as the Minister of Family Affairs and Social Services in the Rinne Cabinet and the subsequent Marin Cabinet.

On 13 December 2024, in the afternoon, Kiuru was attacked in Kaisaniemi Park when an unknown man hit her in the face. Initially, it was speculated that the assault might have been politically motivated, as Kiuru was involved with contentious discussions about a hospital network reform. The police quickly apprehended a suspect, and early reports from the police indicated that the attack had been random.
